Went to 3 Targets here and wiped out is right. I've never seen the stock so low around here. Nothing in clearance section and the Lego aisle had tumbleweeds rollin thru. I usually get very little clearance in any Lego theme, but this year it looks like I won't be able to purchase any

As predicted, most retailers were conservative with ordering this year. Most Targets, Walmarts and TRU here were very slim during the last week. Many sold out but you'll see that stock will start coming in with returns and new 2010 product.

There may be more but these are the only ones I have seen in person at 30%

eBay store, contact me if you'd like to perform trades from my inventory. I'm looking for original genosian fighers, second version a-wing fighters and tie bombers. I may be interested in other sets so let me know what you have.

Update : The uK is having a similar sale but with a range of 25-50% off.

Legoshop.com for USA and Canada just added lots of items on sale. Theres 190 items but most of the stuff is sold out already so its basically only around 95 items on sale. (they were sold out before the sale like the ahsoka fighter, advent calendar, anakin fighter,etc.)

Some of the noteworthy items are like most of the power miners theme, agents, castle, bionicle, mini sets, more keychains, seasonal stuff, train station and volksvagen beattle. Most of the stuff is around 25% off.

A little late to the party on this one. Went to my local Target on Saturday, December 26. Almost all Lego completely wiped out. They had 3 Tank Droids and 3-4 Vader's TIE and none of them at clearance prices. Will check but I'd guess as soon as they're marked down to 30% they'll vanish.

If Ace's up to the minute pre-holiday sales news didn't empty your wallets already, here is some after-holiday sales news to finish the job!

A few notes about after holiday sales:

A dictionary look-up of the word "clearance" would suggest that these items will not be restocked at the given store. So, if its gone, its gone. Product is subject to availability. We post the news, and make no claims of it being in stock.

Secondly, many clearance blowouts are store-specific, meaning whats on sale at a random big-box retailer may be different than its sister store three miles away. Most of the news from these sales may not apply to your store, so shop with enthusiasm but be prepared to find different deals than your FBTB friends.

Finally, LEGO was a HOT item this year. Inventories are picked through and limited. This year, unlike in recent year's past, to the early bird will go the worm. Don't expect stock to sit on the shelves for weeks on end... if there was stock in the first place it won't be there long.

Here are some confirmed super sales:

LEGO Shop at Home:

The Sales & Deal's Page has featured some great sets through the last 24 hours, but stock is limited. Currently, Star Wars and Indiana Jones are limited to keychains or sold out. Keep an eye on the page, however, as year-end counts get done and random inventory returns to stock.

LEGO Brand Retail:

LEGO Brand Retail Stores have many of the items on the [email protected] pages also on sale, but stock is very limited. 25% off most items from the 2008 and early 2009 Star Wars and Indiana Jones line. If you can find them in stock, I picked up a few 7681 Separatist Spider Droids and a 7683 Fight on the Flying Wing. Stock varies from store to store.

Toys'R'Us:

I've gotten two PM's about the 7754 Home One Mon Calamari being on sale for 30% off. This set has been below retail throughout almost the whole holiday season. Though a fan-favored set versus the disaster of a set that was the 7680 Twilight, looks like Toys'R'Us struck out again this holiday. While for 30% most would consider it a good buy, I personally would expect further discounts forthcoming.

Amazon priced the Stone Chopper way above MSRP, so their discounted price is still above MSRP and shop.lego.com is offering a better price on the Stone Chopper and Jungle Cutter. However, Amazon did re-start their Lightning Deals again on 12/27. No Lego yet, but I would keep checking. The pre-Christmas Lightning Deals were pretty good. Here's the link for the Amazon toy page where both the Lightning Deals and up to 60% off deals can be found:

It looks like all Power Miners and Pirates are being clearanced. I also found a boat load of Duplo that is 50% off. Most were not in the clearance isle so take your time and just scan things. You may find a great deal.
